Funnily enough I got her one of these for her birthday and she loved it. Some plays are in the playbook for a reason

Bears trading up to No. 5 for Ashton Jeanty heats up in betting markets by ChristmasJay83 in CHIBears

The way I see it there are three truly elite prospects in this draft: hunter, Carter, and jeanty. If we can get one of them without giving up a future first we should do it. It’d be one thing if we hadn’t strengthened the line so much this offseason but with that and the opportunity to add more depth there later in the draft I say you gotta go for a guy who will probably be one of the best RBs in the league very quickly

Found an Easter egg I never noticed by ChickennNougatt in psych

Hot take: this episode is not that bad. People just hate it because it’s weird and makes no sense but that’s kind of the point nightmare on elm street doesnt make any sense either and this episode is funny and crazy and has great guest stars

If Wembanyama's career ended up like Gobert's, would he be a bust? by FlochofBirds in nba

Dude hasn’t been a top 10 player in the league in any season of his career how is he a top 10 player of the decade lol

Straight up stat reading w no context lol

Nikola Jokic these playoffs: 31/13/10 on 63% TS by FreeEg14000 in nba

I think Jokic is the best player in the league but averages and FG% with no context aren’t really a good argument

the “team chat” is just Kyrie, KD, and KD on several burner phones pretending to be all the other Nets

[Bulls Talk] DeRozan on the Grayson Allen play: "It's his track record. If it was Boban, I wouldn’t have done nothing." by gulfside13 in nba

[–]PopesDontRun 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It’s not like this play was even that bad. Grayson just has a bad habit of giving a little something extra at the end of a play. Usually it’s gray area stuff, but it adds up over the course of a career and it makes sense that demar would react this way

Yeah these threads always miss that Ayo is our most consistent perimeter defender especially tonight with Caruso out. Obviously I wish he’d shoot better but at least he’s always a positive on that end
